A/N: I know we all skip Authors Notes *been there done that* so I just wanna keep this short. This chapter was the hardest to write for me, so it's one of the reasons why I took so long to update. There isn't much to say so here you go…
Quick thanks to all my reviewers, it means a lot that you all care, and thanks for reaching the '3 reviews for an update' limit, thank you all. Oh and thanks to Jennifer who gave me the idea to write a POV on Cathy, this is for you.
Chapter 14: The Unknown
Cathy
Walking into the house, I couldn't help but feel a strange sense of fear and pain tension inside the Cullen residence. Using my ability was useless because I had no idea what was going on, I'm a little bewildered that my Uncle Jasper did nothing about it
Today was surprisingly great, I was never the fan of dress up and shopping ever since I was a child, I guess I was like my aunt in that way but today was a little different. Jonathan, Carmen and I's biological father use to tell all his children stories about their mothers, he said that I was so similar to Catherina –my biological mother – besides looks. I never got to meet Catherina but I only got to see her in pictures my dad surprisingly had in our castle in Russia. Everytime he saw the picture he'd always smile. He'd never admit it to us but I knew she was his first love
One day I walked up to him with the picture of Catherina in my hands and asked him who she was. He immediately got angry and caused a riot demanding who gave me the picture when in truth I went through his stuff. Jonathan was always the disciplinarian instead of a father. Whoever doesn't go by his rules would be beaten up and thrown into the dungeons chamber for the rest of the day and scrubbing the entire castle until it's spotless, he'd occasionally throw in the 'no meal' for a week card when we committed something terrible. He only gave the children he favored the most mercy and I was one of them probably because of my ability, but I wasn't close to him
He was in an alliance with the Volturi for about two centuries but kept his distance from them as he wanted to go off on his own, I'm surprised Carlisle never knew about him given he was part of the Volturi not so long ago.
Jonathan had three wives, three ruthless witches of wives. Sylivia, Sabrina and Evelyn were the women he met during his time; all three of them were sisters at the time whom he met in Portugal. He married them legally because he knew how 'special' they were and them being illegally in a country wasn't quite the set up.
Sylivia never liked me from the moment we met and vice versa. She saw me as a threat for the vampire world – like I'd stand up against strong, powerful full vampires – so since then she despised me. Since I was Jonathan's favorite she'd always find a way to derail that. I always got in trouble since then. I was beaten up and battered in pain; I wore the same torn up outfit for months and less food privileges. I was certain I'd die from starvation, that was until Emelia came along and saved me
I could still remember that day like it was yesterday, the painful brutal day I was saved from certain death
Flashback
The Capital city of Russia, Moscow underneath the constant busy city was a large palace sort of Castle only 18. 44 kilometers away from Saint Basil's Cathedral and the Moscow Kremlin. Since it was the 21st century, we always tried to modernize it from the exterior at least we tried.
I was currently in my chamber known as my room in one of the very largest amount of rooms in the castle where I had pre-historical artifacts in. knowing as I was only 9 years old, I never really cared about my surroundings.
My door was slightly visibly opened where I could see my guard pacing around. About a few months ago my older brother Steffen tried to escape the castle in hopes of having a proper life somewhere in the outside world since we were never allowed to step foot out of the castle at all costs. So when this incident happened my dad found out immediately and was furious by none other than Sylivia. He took Steffen and looked him up in the dungeon for about a month with no food supply and made him swear he wouldn't commit that again.
This was one of the strict rules he enforced to all of us that if we ever tried to exit or even suggest about leaving the palace then he'd lock us up in the dungeon for months and be totally cruel to us. I never got that until it happened to me
"Catherine, you're up" my guard said as he opened the door for me. I took a deep breath and walked out of the door. Today was the day we impressed our father with our unique abilities. We did this almost every 3 months where we'd showcase our enhance abilities to him, if he wasn't impressed he'd either lock us up in the dungeon or exult us from the castle by burning us. I knew it sounded absolutely cruel but what would you expect from a ruthless person like him.
I began walking slowly to the 'arena' as I called it with a light treasure case in my hands. I was immediately stopped by a figure standing in front of me. I looked up to see Sylivia grinning peevishly.
"Are you ready for the presentation little one?" she asked in Russian with a fake smile on her face
"Yes" I answered back. She smiled back and looked down at my treasure case
"What is that you got there?" She asked in a heavy Russian English accent
"It's my motivation" I simply answered as I moved away from her gaze. I could see her nod and bend down to my length
"No need to be shy little one, we all know you have the most powerful ability here and that you're father will want you to live which in return allows me to tolerate you. We wouldn't want to lose someone so gifted now do we?" She whispered
"I'm not afraid of you" I said harshly. She just laughed
"Oh but on the contrary, you should be, you should be very afraid because I can manipulate him, I can change his view of you…I can make him hate you forever and destroy you right this moment like how he did with your ruthless siblings, so I suggest you make this the best of the best…or you'll suffer the consequences" she replied and whispered at the end. She immediately made my blood boil but knowing me, I'd never be the one to argue and I also admit that she really was scary. She got up and smirked down at me, her dark brown hair tied up and her violet eyes staring down at me with her hands together in her overly-sized gown. With one sly grin she left in a blinding flash and I released a sigh, this was now or never
I walked into the arena of the large room. Immensely tall windows with wide open blinds and the crystal chandelier hanging in the center of the room and the patterned tiles of the arena where shined. My eyes then moved to the four figure chairs in front of me where there sat Evelyn, Sabrina, Sylivia and Jonathan in the middle. He ushered me to begin and I closed my eyes and begin using my ability
My focus point was trying to make the two guards begin an argument and start a fight as I fiddled with their emotion and mind focus. Jonathan looked intrigued for a moment as he smiled. Sylivia leaned in and whispered something in his ear which made his smile fall off completely
"Thank you Catherine" He dismissed. I nodded and went back to my chamber. I was sat in my room staring at the only picture of my mother Catherina. I've never met her but I was sure she was a wonderful woman. The door interrupted me from my chain of thought and I spun to see Jonathan walking by
"Hello there young one" He said in a deep voice. "Quite the show you put there" He complimented
"But not a good one" I whispered. He just shook his head
"What have you got there?" he asked staring at the photo frame in my hands. "Where did you get that?" He asked as he got a better look at it with blazed eyes.
"I got it from Sylivia" I said that's when she came into the room
"What's going on?" She asked and saw the picture in my hands. "Where did you get that Catherine?" She asked like she didn't have a say in anything.
"I got it from you; I swear I didn't do anything, Sylivia gave it to me last week" I confessed. Jonathan looked like he believed me and frowned at Sylivia
"That is Mahogany, truth be told I had nothing to do with this, this child is a liar!" She exclaimed. Jonathan growled "You have to believe me, we need to do something to punish her" Sylivia whispered as she rubbed his arm probably charming him. He looked fazed and then glared at me
"How dare you blame your stepmother, for that you'll be locked in the dungeon and for that I'm banding you from your food privileges!" He seethed
"But" I tried to protest
"Guards!" he ordered in Russian and two men immediately came in all dressed up in silver wear and began to take me in the dungeon while I cried ferociously…
I shuddered at the memory and looking back I wandered how lucky I was to have a family like the Cullens'. I never expected that that day would be the day I was saved by Emelia Corvino, and brought to this wonderful family that I could call my own.
Renesmee, Jason, and I walked up to the living room and heard chattering of a conversation I never caught because they ended it when we appeared the room. The room was so dull and so was everyone else. Alice and Jasper we sitting by Diego as were my parents' around Carmen looking rather fearful, Edward and Bella were sat by the piano looking torn. What was going on?
"What's going on?" Renesmee blurted out as if she read my mind. She placed her bag on the ground; Carlisle looked up at her and gave her an assuring smile
"Renesmee, we're glad you're all back" Carlisle greeted with a smile, Renesmee didn't seem fazed but let out a smile. Edward and Bella looked in thought as they shared their mind telepathy which I always never got
"Why does everyone look like they saw a ghost?" Renesmee asked that's when a young man probably in his late teens or early twenties smiled. He was huge, probably huger than Jacob. "Derek?" Renesmee gasped as she saw him. Derek stood up from the couch and smiled at her
"Hey Nessbit" He replied in a husky voice. Nessie still seemed to look bewildered at his presence. It seemed like Derek felt the same way because his eyes widened and his mouth almost dropped like a dog when it just saw a bone. I felt Edward tense and Jason frowned at Derek, I guess his thoughts weren't pure.
"Renesmee, your mother and I came across Derek here on the hunting trip and he came here to give us some news" Edward said as he got up from the piano. Bella was quiet not saying a word as she looked torn
"Is there a problem?" Renesmee and Jason asked in unison as fear and horror stricken on their faces. Edward contemplated for a second before answering
"No there isn't any problem but we're not entirely sure… he just gave us information that may of use to us" Edward said with a convincing smile. Renesmee nodded convinced but Jason didn't seem so
"And the information is?" Jason asked curiously. Edward narrowed his eyes at his son slightly before sighing
"That's not really the issue we should be talking about son" Edward said calmly. Jason nodded getting the hint
"Wait, this is your son right? The Puer Luna-something? He's the reason and proof vampires can produce?" Derek asked changing the subject. Edward nodded at him
"Yes and Derek is the one that saved me" Carmen said adoringly as she smiled at him. Typical Cary, this must've angered my dad a little because I saw him growling under his breath.
"Well thank you for saving my sister" Renesmee smiled at Derek. As this was going on we heard the door swing open. Jake came through the door shaking his wet messy hair like a mad dog, threading his fingers through it and exhaling a breath as he walked up to us.
"God it's pouring out there" he muttered to himself. "Hey guys" He greeted smiling at us all until it dropped when he saw all the down faces. "Who died?" He joked. It was dead silent. I couldn't help but wonder why Seth wasn't with him like he always was
"I'm asking myself the same question dude" Jason mumbled to him. Jacob then moved from where he stood and strode to Renesmee and wrapped his arms around her
"Jason" Esme chided softly.
"We encountered with Derek on our hunting trip" Carlisle began motion to Derek who stood with his hands in his pockets "He's got some very valuable and useful news for us…" he said before turning to Edward who just shook his head. Edward then turned to Jacob and nodded towards him. He looked confused for a second before nodding
"Um Nessie, why don't we go out"
"What? Why, we just got back"
"I haven't seen you all day, please" he pleaded. Renesmee pouted before nodding "We'll be back before sundown" Jake declared before leaving the house with Ness. I frowned and turned back to my family. What just happened?
"Okay, drop the jig, I know there's something up" Jason said as a matter-of-factly
"Yeah I can see as well" I chipped
"You're father said there's nothing up so there's nothing up kid" Emmett said coldly. Rosalie slapped the back of my dad's head
"Emmett" Esme scolded "That's not the right way to treat your nephew"
"No, its okay Em I think its best they know" Edward said and turned to his wife who still looked frustrated "Derek gave us some information on why the new threat are after the hybrids, it turned out that not only are they after the hybrids but they hold something quite valuable to us" Edward said
"Well then what is it?" Jason asked with a hint of impatiens. Edward took one glance at Bella who just sat there quietly
"I'll do the explaining" Derek insisted and my uncle nodded "The Creseens hold in possession of something valuable to you guys, something you all need as your father said…My creator was in alliance with the Creseens for quite some time now, and the day I was turned was the day he took me in and took me to Credysa, in Russia. I got to meet every ruthless being in that castle even though they portrayed as 'nice' people…I realized only later how bad they are probably the worst of all vampires" he began
"Not really" Emmett inserted clearly referring to the Volturi. My mom scolded him and Derek just continued
"I had to leave as soon as possible, so I had a game plan, but I had to be cautious because they had people with all sorts of abilities imagined. I sneaked out on their daily hunting trip. Obviously I had to manipulate the guard members, so I had a plan where I'd distract them, thanks to an ally of mine I had an easy way out. I went past the dungeon motes and came across and unusual silvery statue of something or someone" Derek said
"So what does that have to do with our family?" I asked innocently
"Let him finish" Esme said warmly. I nodded understandingly
"So this statue…?" Jasper asked
"It was locked up in this huge storage iced case or something like that, but that wasn't the unusual part, I was astonished at how it looked so darn familiar, it was a sculpture of a two year old girl" Derek continued "That looked familiar to Renesmee" he said
"So you're saying that, that little girl is Renesmee?" Jason asked
"He's saying that, that girl is Renesmee's twin" Carlisle answered for Derek. I gasped and Jason just looked in disbelief and just laughed
"This isn't some practical joke right?" He asked. They all shock their heads "So what the hell does this mean?" How come none of us knew about it?" He asked as he focused his eyes on Derek
"I was turned at aged 16 so I had no clue myself but then I read the written plate on the statue which said 'No name, born: 10 September 2006' and I knew that because it was the day Renesmee was born" He said.
"But that doesn't mean anything?" Alice said
"No but it does have a link…one of the reasons you guys never knew of her existence is because she has this unique powerful ability where she's completely invisible to her surroundings, all though we can see her in person, she is immune to any ability, she has a magnetic field barrier around her which pulls away anything that gets in her way" Edward answered clearly reading Derek's mind
"So in other words she has the ability to camouflage?" Jasper asked. Derek nodded slightly
"Invisibility, but she's not immune to all seen as Ernesto's ability worked on her" Derek said. "They turned her into an immortal vampire but that was a big mistake because she became completely crazed" He continued
"We know the feeling" Emmett said as there was a brief silence.
"But what I don't get is how my father or anybody didn't know about this; didn't my dad hear her thoughts or even her heartbeat?" Jason asked
"She's a very powerful child, she can block any ability from working as well even a own sense, there's no telling how many other abilities she has" Derek said "Which explains why Bella had the worst pregnancy, when Renesmee was in her womb and I could hear her think, I also heard an unusual tone, like it echoed from her but I was too naïve and mistaken it as a natural instinct" Edward said in pain.
"This is why you didn't want Renesmee to be around?" I asked
"Yes, because she's one of the most vulnerable light-hearted people in this family, and her finding out about her lost sister's existence would be a little too much for her to handle" Edward answered me. I nodded in understanding
"If they're in possession of what would seem a family member…then, then we should fight" Jason suggested
"No!" Bella's voice chimed sternly from her seat. We all turned to her. "We're not fighting, I don't believe any of this and I'm not planning on to" She said for the first time and immediately stood up and left the room and out of the house. The faces all fell and silence crept
"We'll discuss this some other time" Edward suggested and not waiting for an answer he left the room and followed his wife. The silence continued until Esme broke it
"I'll be making lunch soon, you're invited to stay over Derek" Esme smiled warmly to him. It was immediately infectious and he smiled back. But there was still tension in the air that I couldn't bear; I needed to get out of here
"Um, I think I'm heading to Seth's" I declared and got up from my seat. My father spun around to glare at me
"No you're not" He said sternly
"Yes I am" I argued
"You're not leaving this house young lady whether I have to chain you up with your mothers gear" he snarled. What? He was so unfair!
"But dad, I need to see Seth, I haven't seen him all day" I argued back
"No and that's final Catherine, I don't care if you go to your room and sulk but you're not leaving this house!" He seethed
"Jason can take me" I suggested. I never usually disagreed with my parents' I always abide by the rules
"I said no Cathy, we almost lost Carmen yesterday and I can't lose you as well, I allowed you to go shopping with Renesmee only thinking you'd be safe but I was pained the whole day so the answer is no" He stated. I turned to my mother who had her arms crossed. The people who were in the room were just Carmen and my parents'
"Mom…" I pleaded but I knew all too well what the answer would've been. She looked torn
"I'm sorry sweetheart-" She said but I cut her off
"No, don't sweetheart me, that card won't work" I answered back a little harshly to her but I didn't care because I was just infuriated. Knowing that I wouldn't win this argument I groaned and walked up the stairs "I hate you guys!" I shouted and ran up to my room. I slammed the door hard and collapsed into my pillowcase and released the walls of groans because I knew I wouldn't cry over this (but I guess that didn't last). I hated my life!
I couldn't believe my parents' right now, they were so unfair! And I'm aiming at my dad right now. Why wouldn't they give me the time of day to just go see my imprint, didn't they knew how hard it was to be away from him? Sometimes I wished they would just loosen up a little.
The door opened and broke me off my train of thought
"Leave me alone" I said sternly not acknowledging who stood by
"It's just me" My sister's voice chimed. I sniffled slightly
"Yeah I know" I muttered. She laughed lightly as she walked up to my bed and handed me a tissue. "Thanks"
"I'm sorry" She said.
"It's okay, I should've expected this" I laughed non-humorously. She smiled at me.
"I literally thought you were going to like jump off the balcony or something and scream I hate you to our parents'" She laughed. I rolled my eyes then they bulged in realization
"What a minute" I gasped and spun around to the open window of our balcony. I turned to my sister and smiled. She frowned "You're a genius!" I exclaimed lowly and pulled her in a hug and got up.
"What do you mean?" She asked following me to our closet. I quickly grabbed my coat and applied some mascara and lip gloss "What are you doing?" She asked
"I'm doing something I should've done a long time ago" I whispered to her and quickly used my ability to distract my family of other things. I know I'd probably get in trouble for doing that later "I need you to do me a favor and cover for me okay?"
"Where are you going?" Carmen asked in fear as her hazel-blue eyes glistened. I rolled my eyes
"Out to see Seth" I simply said
"Cat are you nuts, you pick today to be rebellious!" She exclaimed lowly. I rolled my eyes "You know Mom and Dad are gonna kill you right, you just gave yourself a death sentence"
"I'll be back before they even noticed alright…I just need you to cover for me" I said standing on the balcony
"But" She protested but I was long gone. I made sure I landed on my feet and I took off to the direction to Seth's house
I reached his house and rang the doorbell once. It was a very funny chilly and sunny weather so I was glad I brought a coat. The opened and there stood Seth Clearwater, the love of my life
"Cat?" he asked in confusion "What are you doing here?"
"Aren't you going to give me a hug?" I laughed. He smiled and pulled me into a tight hug
"No seriously, what are you doing here?" He asked in seriousness as he invited me in
"I thought you'd be happy to see me" I pouted my bottom lip
"I mean yeah I am but I thought Rosalie and Emmett Cullen will never allow you to leave the house" He said
"Yeah…I kinda snuck out" I said shyly not wanting to hear the lecture thrown by my best friend
"Badass" He applauded. I just laughed. "But you know you're totally dead?" He told me. I shrugged
"So where's your mother and Charlie?" I asked searching around. He was currently in the living room watching a soccer match with popcorn crisps lying around. My typical Sethy
"They're out with Billy at the moment, god knows where" He smiled. We both sat down on the couch. I was currently sat tucked up by his side as we fixed our eyes on the screen
"I miss you" I whispered against his chest
"I've missed you too Cate" He replied.
"Cate?" I frowned at the unusual nickname. "That's new?" I laughed.
"Uh yeah, I thought of new nickname for you since everyone's using all the others" He smiled. I returned the gesture, he was so sweet
"I think it's cool" I answered slowly staring up at him with such intensity. Was it bad that I wanted to kiss him? Probably "um…yeah, let's watch a movie?" I suggested breaking away from the eye contact and got up from the couch to his DVR.
"I have Suckish movies Cat" He laughed
"Really?" I asked revealing the movie called 'White Frog'. Seth immediately turned a light beet red and chuckled nervously
"That's my mom's" He said defensively. I rolled my eyes
"Sure it is" I said sliding in the DVD and moving back to the couch where Seth and I enjoyed watching the movie in each other's embrace…
Renesmee
Jacob and I left the house in seconds and I couldn't help but wonder why the tension in the house affected me so badly. Seeing everyone so glum made me enhance my train of thought. Getting into the house seemed like going to a funeral. I didn't really expect it all. I wanted to know why all the down faces affected me so badly. I wanted to know what the eye contact between my dad and Jacob meant. I definitely wanted to know why my mother looked so devastated
"I wonder what happened in there" I told Jacob
"Who knows, but whatever it is it must be serious" He said. I sighed "So where do you wanna go?" he asked rhetorically with his Jake smile. I laughed
"Seriously Jake, you pull me away from my family in hopes of us being together and you ask me that?" I raised my eyebrow asking this. He blushed slightly and looked in thought
"You're the one who comes up with the brilliant ideas Ness" He laughed. I rolled my eyes "I've got it" He smiled as he began pulling his shirt off and he extended his arm
"Oh I'd love to see this" I laughed and took it as we descended the porch staircase. He went behind a tree and came back as a brown furry wolf-figure that I loved dearly and handed me his shorts. He nudged and purred clearly indicating I should climb on him
"Jacob, where are we going?" I asked. He nudged me lightly again "Jake, I'm too old for piggy back rides" I laughed. He whimpered lowly and I rolled my eyes "Fine" I sighed and held a fist full of his fur. I smiled and did a sneak attack and ran to the direction of the forest leaving my wolf utterly confused
He figured out my game and followed my trail and we had a little race together, running through the ever so green forests. I jumped from tree to tree whilst he did with the river bank. Jacob has always been the fastest one between him and I and I knew he could beat me any day…of course I wouldn't admit that to him
We ran together and he was currently in the lead. I groaned as he barked up a laugh when he saw the entire five foot gap between us. I just wanted to beat him so bad that he cries at the end…and I had a game plan
I disappeared in the opposite direction which made the laughing Jacob panic as he searched for me. It was suddenly silent and Jacob looked extremely hilarious looking all lost and I knew I couldn't keep this much longer because he could literally burst any minute
I began whistling a slight tune of my mother's lullaby and the mockingbirds copied. This caused Jacob to spin around following the music trail. When he wasn't looking, I silently landed on the ground not making a sound and slightly crept up behind him. He spun around and released an unusual wolf grin. I cussed and began running with him following his flank. We currently past the border line clearing and landed in our sanctuary, our meadow
"And Renesmee Carlie wins!" I exclaimed. I gave Jacob his shorts and he went behind and tree and came back in his human form
"I only let you win this time, Ness, this time" He mumbled defensively. I just rolled my eyes.
"Oh please, you can't face the fact that you're fiancée has beaten your butt" I joked sticking my tongue out at him. He did the same and pulled me by the waist "Gosh I miss this place" I said staring at the scenery
"I guess it is good to be here" Jacob smiled at me. We strolled up to our favorite spot under the willow tree –which grew remarkably fast the last time we've been here – under the carved heart shaped initials of our names. I lay on the ground with my head on his lap and his arms engulfed around me.
"I still can't believe Derek's a werewolf" I sighed all the serious coming in. "I mean he should've been in Canada with his family by now, not trying to run away from them" I continued as my Jacobs lips touched my forehead.
"It's not your fault Ness, yes it's not right but what's done is done" He said
"But I can't help but feel like he shouldn't be thrown him into the supernatural world" I contemplated whether or not to mention how I always wondered how life would be if I lived with my best friend forever.
"It's not your fault Nessie, nothing will ever be your fault" He said with such emotion that just made my heart swell. I looked up to meet his dark brown eyes
"Thank you for the vote of confidence" I replied remembering the dreadful memory of my mother lying in the hospital bed ready for death. I immediately took back the thought.
"How was your day?" Jacob asked changing the subject slightly
"It was great, same old girls day out" I said forgetting the part where I saw that strange girl "and I know what you told Jason to do?" I said
"It's for your own protection Ness, I don't want anything bad to happen to you" he answered
"Yes dad" I teased. He just rolled his eyes and I laughed "No seriously, you sounded like Edward right there" I smiled
"I'll never sound like Eddie boy" He said proudly. I smiled.
"Yeah right…so, July 18 is the date for the wedding" I confirmed.
"Any day is okay with me Ness, as long as I marry you at the end" He said kissing my cheek. Jacob was so good with words.
"Well alrighty then…but that's a month after graduation" I said sadly
"Isn't that a good thing?" He asked in clear confusion. I nodded
"Yes but what if Laura doesn't make it" I sighed clearly meaning the Oxford honors program that she can get any minute from now. I wondered if she'd miss it
"Everything will be fine Ness, she'll be there" He assured me. I sighed but nodded. There's only hope. We sat in silence just staring at the horizon, listening to birds chirping and our heartbeats connecting at the same pace. I traced my fingers around the palm of his hand clearly in a train of thought.
"What's going on in that head of yours Ness?" He asked
"Have you ever wondered how our kids will be like, how they'll look like?" I asked. His silence clearly meant he was in thought "How many kids we'd have."
"Well, since I was a kid I always dreamt about having a son I could play catch with and a daughter who I could treat her with all sorts of candy's and be a daddy's girl" He joked. I laughed
"So that'd mean a girl and a boy?"
"Yeah, I mean, whatever happens everything will be okay right?" He said. I nodded in agreement "Do you want to?" He asked "I mean…do you want them now?" I just shook my head slightly not trusting my voice
"I still wanna enjoy life now" I mumbled truthfully. I could feel him smiled and nodded above me.
"And we'll enjoy this life forever; it's a whole new chapter, together" He reassured me. I looked up at him and grinned widely
"Yeah" I said and he nodded and leaned down to peck me on the lips. It was a sweet and loving kiss. I smiled as we pulled away. We stayed in that position for what felt like forever but really were just five minutes when we heard the light drizzle of rain hit our pores
"Race you back to the house" He said as we stood up under the now soaking willow tree. I rolled my eyes
"So I can beat your little butt again?" I played along. He scoffed dramatically
"Dream on" He said rolling his eyes again
"With my eyes closed" I giggled and began running back to the house. I could hear him following my flank as we ran –in his wolf form– back to the Cullen' House.
Walking to the house was kind of weird for me, I mean yes the tension is kind of overwhelming but I never felt the happiness that always jolted up in me.
Jacob and I were in the living room where we caught Jason and Derek having a conversation together. They spun around to stare at us but I couldn't help my eyes being fixed towards Derek
"Hey there guys" Jason smiled at us.
"You're still here?" I said to Derek ignoring my brother. Derek released a smile showing off his perfect white teeth
"I guess I am" He answered. I felt Jacob tense as he pulled me close to his side. Jealous much…
"Why don't you two catch up…get to be you know...BFF's again" Jason suggested grinning crookedly, Jacob disagreed but I begged to differ
"I think that's a good idea" I said
"Sure" Derek answered as he got up from the couch. Jacobs eyes flashed to mine and he frowned I'll be fine Jake, we're just going to the back yard, nothing will happen I tried to assure him.
"A lot can happen in the backyard" He said staring slyly towards Derek who just stood there with his hands in his pockets smiling at him.
I'll be fine, I promise okay? I assured him. He took one peak at Derek before nodding. I smiled and ushered Derek to follow me. Whilst doing so, Jacob pulled my arm and brought his warm lips to mine in a strong kiss. I was stunned by this but didn't protest and kissed him back. We pulled away not so long after and both Derek and I left the room and to the backyard. It was a cold day I realized I really should have brought a coat. We walked in complete silence until I broke it
"So you're a werewolf" I said more of a statement
"Yeah…and you're a vampire" He replied. I snickered and nodded.
"Last time I checked"
"You know we're supposed to be sworn enemies right?" He asked and I just laughed
"Yeah I know" I smiled sheepishly. "How did this happen?" I asked
"Back when I was sixteen I was driving home from school when my car broke down in the middle of nowhere and I think we both know what happened next" He replied "Stupid creator forced me into joining his clique after the fever set in and he teamed up with those reeking blood bathers" He added. I nodded understanding.
"How was it?" I began "How did it feel…" I continued not knowing if it was right to bring up an awful memory like that
"It was like being stabbed in the back of the neck but with a large chainsaw ripping through your body, the familiar burn that jolted my body, I felt like I was dying" He said bitterly.
"I'm sorry" I apologized lowly
"It wasn't your fault" He simply said. I nodded staring down at the ever so green grass.
"So did you leave school?" I asked
"I had no choice Nessbit" He said using the nickname he gave me as a child. I smiled back
"How about your parents'…do they know?" I asked. He's face fell at the mention of his family "I'm sorry I shouldn't have brought it up"
"I needed to be alone for a while and being with my family wouldn't have helped" He answered truthfully. I nodded understandingly and dropped the subject
"Can't you like…stop?" I asked hoping he'd get it.
"It wasn't my choice Renesmee; I wasn't the one who turned me into a monster!" He coaxed his eyes almost blazing
"You're not the monster Der, it's what you do that's monstrous" I said nervously
"I'm not killing anyone Ness!" He exclaimed
"Then who is?"
"The people who are coming after you…The Creseens" He said. My body shuddered at the name of the unusual threat "And my creators pack" He said
"How many are you?" I asked
"Like 10 so far, he keeps searching for assets around the world" He explained
"So he's just randomly turning people?" I guessed and he nodded.
"That's unless the leader instructs him too." He explained. I sighed. Why does life have to be such a female dog?
"So they've done this before?"
"Yeah, but I left before I even got in on the full story" He said and I nodded in understanding
"So from now on you're still you?" I asked the dark haired man.
"I guess I am" He shrugged. I smiled back as we walked through the forest. "So you and Jacob?" he said bringing it up. I giggled.
"Yeah 'me and Jacob' I said quoting the words.
"When did that happen?" He asked
"About two years ago" I said
"I knew it'll happen sooner or later"
"And how's that?" I asked him as we sat on a large rock near the house. He fiddled with a pebble as we sat there staring at the horizon.
"I don't know, the day we went camping, how drifted apart you both felt and how much you seemed to miss him all the time" He explained
"Oh, well I guess you were right" I said extending my left finger to him where my engagement ring was. He frowned at me until his eyes widened "Surprise" I laughed at how I almost sounded like Aunt Alice.
"Congratulations" He exclaimed nudging my arm. I smiled and I lay against his shoulder.
"Thanks" I said. "And you're invited" I confirmed
"I don't know about that, I think your fiancé kinda hates me a little too much than I expected" He sniggered for the first time today. I smiled as I zoomed in my eyesight and saw Jacob standing at the doorstep staring at us.
"Mind my overly jealous fiancé" I said
"I would be like that if I were him so I get it" He replied. I smiled back.
"Don't yoh have a girl in particular?" I asked and he just shook his head "Oh stop, a handsome guy like you I'd assume you'd have girls swarming for you" I added.
"Honestly, I'm not really up for a relationship right now" He said convincingly. I nodded in understanding. We then heard the loud thunder storm erupt from the heavens
"We should probably head back" I suggested and we both began running back to the house…
"Are you sure you don't want to stay over for the night Derek?" Carlisle asked. We were currently outside saying goodbye to Derek but what I noticed was my family was different. Everyone were trying to avoid my gaze for some reason, like they were afraid to tell me something and another unusual thing was not seeing my parents either.
"Oh no it's okay, I was on the run and I really honestly just passed by but I'll visit soon" He said staring back at me. Carlisle nodded and shook his hand
"Have a safe trip then Derek it was a pleasure having you" He uttered with his fatherly smile. Derek nodded and said goodbye to us before running to the northern direction.
"Where's Cathy?" Rosalie then asked and we all immediately turned to her. Carmen smiled sheepishly clearly knowing where Catherine was.
"Oh I'm going to kill her" Emmett growled…Uh Oh
IN CREDYSA
"Third" Person
Time was at the essence in the very remote country of Russia Moscow. They've been waiting and waiting and waiting for the feedback on each of their stray aways. They sent their two best trackers in order to get their assests faster but that was almost a week ago.
Brevrant and Masyria haven't returned and this worried The Creseens dreadfully.
"Maybe it was too late for them" Jules declared
"It is never too late my friend, only time will tell" Pablo retorted as they sat underneath the castle reigning. The castle of Credysa was a lot different from the one Of Volterra. Large windows, creamic tiled grounds, 5 story compartments but the scent wasn't too far off. The scent of darkness and death...
"He's right" a voice chimed in as it came into the room. Both of the men spun around to see who the voice was. "Only time will tell, even if things don't go as planned, we've got the upper hand"
"But we can still see how the Cullens are questioning the Creseens affectiveness, you've dealt with them before" Jules exclaimed
"Oh Jules don't be so stubborn, of course I know that...but this time it'll be a little variant." The person smiled devillishly at Jules and Pablo
"Phantos isn't going to tolerate your little schemes" Jules commented.
"Maybe not, but let's not forget that my leaders were the one who created Phantos" The unknown person said in glum. Pablo and Jules looked befuddled for a moment "By creators I mean the Volturi" The Unknown said impatiently.
"We all know what'll happen after this" Jonathan chipped as he came into the room. "I have not been with them as long as you did but I've heard they have abilities ten times stronger them the ones we have, they've got friends across the world. I'm still bewildered at how hard it is for me to get my children from them" He said the last part filled with hatred and longing.
"You'll get your children back Jonathan" The Unknown assured him
"How's that?" He asked and it just smiled back at him.
"Bring him in!" It called out to the door and a few momentary seconds later, three guards came into the room -All armed- with the chained beast sprawled in dust.
"So this is the Darach" The person exclaimed as it paced around it. The creature released a menacing growl showing all its blood thirst teeth ready to kill. "Fascinating"
"You mean this creature is my one way ticket to getting to my children?" Jonathan asked as he motioned to it. It had a heap of verminous rags and matted hair, he watches them with cunning reptile eyes, his noseless, smallpoxed face creased in a sneer.
He also showed his yellow stumps of teeth and whines for alms, perceiving that it beared the curse of pity; a grotesque mask of death, with hands like claws about his begging bowl as he stood within the shadow of a wall, lost in the trackless room of pain, clutching the pitiless red earth in vain and whimpering like a stricken animal...
"Beautiful isn't it?" The person asked. "It's either we allow and let it do what it was created for, or we end it ourselves...Decisions, decisions..." It said mostly to itself.
"What if this plan doesn't work?" Jules asked. The unknown turned and glared at him
"Oh it will work, you watch" it laughed. "Have you sent Ernesto and Drecky to America in search for the young hybrid girl" it asked changing the subject slightly.
"Yes" Pablo answered
"Good...then let the battle begin"
What did you guys think? I know it's unbelievably long but I wanted to repay my absence Lol. Oh and I also left a large cliff hanger. I'm not really good at being evil so please don't punish me for it.
Who do you think 'The Unknown' is? Hahaha
